    Crazy to believe the trend in Texas simply flat-lined after 20 weeks. Either the community’s quarantine response was phenomenal or the Texas agencies decided to stop counting new cases.

    At least 2 measles cases confirmed inside Texas detention center as of Feb 2.

    The cases were confirmed as the detention center was thrust into the national spotlight for housing Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, who were taken from their home in Columbia Heights, Minnesota, last month despite the family having an active asylum case. Images of the 5-year-old wearing a blue bunny hat alongside ICE officers went viral, as the DHS has repeatedly said ICE was targeting the “worst of the worst” in its Operation Metro Surge in the Twin Cities.
